Review of State of the Art in Planning and Scheduling as Related to COORDINATORS Project: Part I

The COORDINATORS program emphasizes distributed intelligent, cooperative problem solving to a degree not previously demanded of the research community. Automated agents must recognize important change, assess its ramifications on its local view of activity, request or propagate information to other agents as necessary to reduce uncertainty and accommodate change, and re-schedule activity or sel...

Linearity response characterization of Polystyrene/ Graphene oxide nanocomposite as real-time dosimeter for therapeutic purposes

Introduction: In recent years, one of the emerging two dimensional (2D) carbon based nano- materials namely Graphene Oxide has been incorporated into polymeric matrices to enhance the electrical properties of the composites. The electrical conductivity of Graphene Oxide is excellently used in fabricating polymer-based sensors, energy-related systems, biotechnology, anti-statics...

Role of Teacher-Constructed vs. Cooperative Concept Map Learning Strategies in EFL Learners’ Reading Comprehension and Autonomy

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of 2 concept map (CM) learning strategies on Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension ability and learner autonomy. To this end, 60 Iranian EFL learners at the preintermediate level of language proficiency were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Both groups received an 8-week instruction: one through teacher-constructed and the other throug...

The Impact of Fostering Learner Autonomy through Implementing Cooperative Learning Strategies on Inferential Reading Comprehension Ability of Iranian EFL Learners

Abstract The great shift of paradigm from teacher-centeredness to learner-centeredness has one major rationale in line with the definitions of autonomy, i.e., the capacity and willingness to act independently and in cooperation with others, so cooperation is looked upon as the manifestation of autonomy. In the present study, the researchers investigated the impact of training cooperative...
